In Depth Features:

Improved Suspension Geometry: The 8IGHT-X Next Gen suspension geometry has been completely revamped making a car that is fast, nimble, and easy to drive. This includes a myriad of updates including kingpin inclination, trailing spindles, wider front pivot with less scrub radius, narrower rear pivot, longer rear shocks, and updated hub offset.

Suspension Arms: Redesigned suspension arms have been designed to accept stiffener plates that will allow racers to tune the flex of the suspension. The kit will include molded plates with optional carbon fiber plates available separately.

Wide Chassis: Chassis width has been increased to aid in stability and gives the buggy a more neutral feel.

Larger Pinion Bearing: The pinion bearing size in the front and rear has been increased for added durability.

Better Diff Access: The front and rear diff case has been altered to allow easier access to the differentials without removing the bulkheads from the vehicle. The center diff can be accessed via split center diff mounts with the removal of only four screws allowing all of the brake mechanics to stay intact.

Sway Bar System: Redesigned sway bar system has adjustable length links to allow better equalization of each side of sway bar as well as collars to keep the sway bars centered.

Equalized driveline: The center drive shaft angles have been modified so they are equal front to rear allowing for a more 4WD feel to the vehicle.

Updated Radio Tray: An updated radio tray now puts the throttle servo near the engine to eliminate additional linkage. The updated radio tray will ensure the throttle servo is rigidly mounted to avoid any flex by floating the servo off of the center differential.

Optimized Shocks: The shocks are optimized and lightened to decrease the center of gravity and lower the weight of the car as well as offer the use of both 3.5mm and 4.0mm shock shafts.

Metric Hardware: The 8IGHT-X will move away from standard hardware and be on par with all other manufactures with metric hardware.
